In addition, 27,800 hectares of crops and 7,127 hectares of aquaculture are at risk of serious damage if the floods continue. Irrigation reservoirs in the province are still safe, with capacity reaching 64.75% of the design. However, the authorities warn of the risk of flood discharge if the rains continue.
Faced with the above situation, Mr. Tran Phong, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Tri province, directed that there must be absolutely no subjectivity or negligence; units and localities must be resolute and synchronous, ensuring the safety of people's lives and property and the state, minimizing the damage caused by storm No. 6.
